Divorce MediationsDivorce Mediators
The tide may be turning as far as divorcing goes, at least in the U.S. It used to be that men were seen as the providers but only entitled to every-other-weekend time with their children. Now with more custody disputes being resolved with 50-50 custodial time, fewer divorces are being seen.
Then, too, family and divorce mediators are helping to keep parents focused on their children`s welfare. Many judges require disputants to enter a divorce mediation program and wait a month or more before seeing the judge again. Such courts provide lists of certified professional mediators from which to choose.
Oftentimes, the judge hears or reads the report from the mediator regarding the attitudes and cooperativeness of the participants. For those who want mediation help before filing for divorce, free mediation services are available. Find family and divorce mediators near you and get mediation tips.
